The film follows Wolverine as he is enduring an apocalyptic world and tasked by the current Professor X and Magneto to go back in time and team up with their past selves to stop the Sentinel problem from getting out of hand. The film tackles one of the most famous runs (as originally envisioned by Chris Claremont and John Byrne) in the X-Men comic books' history , and could be one of the biggest films of the year, despite the potentially overcrowding cast and Quicksilver's new look.
